Stonebridge Mills - Leeds - May08

[KingElvis]

This is Stonebridge Mills and Engine House in Leeds, it doesn't look much from the road and I have driven past it many hundreds of times without really taking any notice.

It's a lovely place, but full of asbestos so be sure to take a mask if you visit. The place dates right back to C1800 and when you are there, it sure feels like it.

It's Grade 2 listed and you can read more about it on this link.

What a lovely old building! Love the brickwork and beams...and especially the machinery. The baskets and wooden boxes are really nice too...very in keeping with the old feel of the place. Good stuff!
